Supermodel KATE MOSS is stepping off the catwalk to star as DUSTY SPRINGFIELD's lesbian lover in a new screen biopic.

The project, directed by BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN mastermind ANG LEE, will see the 32-year-old play one of the singer's early loves, opposite Oscar-winning-actress CHARLIZE THERON in the lead.

A source tells British newspaper the Daily Star, "Kate's the ideal choice to play the love of Dusty's early life.

"She's beautiful, aloof and she epitomises swinging London.

"Kate's character breaks Dusty's heart and sparks off the chain of tumultuous relationships that dogged her throughout life."

Springfield died in 1999 after losing her battle with breast cancer.

If she doesn't ditch that loser, some day they'll make a movie
about Kate Moss's life, 'cause it'll turn out tragically.

Already I hate this movie. Charlize isn't the Dusty type.

I think Charlize will be just fine doing Dusty. Remember Dusty looked like a sweet teeny-bobber type girl. I didn't know all about the dark side until much much later. Charlize can play dark.

Dusty was a lesbian? What dark side, spill it please

I don't know who Dusty was, but if this is a dark lesbian character, Charlize will be perfect. She's already been there done that in Monster.

No, I think that was Marianne Faithfull. She denied it though.

I heard it was Marianne with the chocolate bar. Wasn't she a major groupie in her youth? And while I don't know who Davey Jones is I am imagining a man who gargles with gravel each morning.

i can't believe you guys don't know Dusty!! Lots of darkness that only came out after she'd been in showbiz for years.

It's too long to copy and paste, but I bet you'll recognise the songs when you read them!

I am familiar with her music, which I love, but I've never read anything about her. After reading that^, I think she sounds awesome. I'm looking forward to the movie!
